Description

Hiking is not a race, it’s a journey to refuel your body, mind and spirit and a chance to connect with nature and other souls. A time to cherish the views and savour the experience. Every step is another moment to breathe the fresh air and feel the earth under your feet. This is  hiking beauty, it’s simplicity. Go hike alone or let nature and me guide you.  At a moderate to brisk pace we’ll hike the Prince of Wales, Primrose Loop and Boyne Valley Side Trails and portion of the Main Trail at Boyne Valley Provincial Park. Atop Murphy’s Pinnacle you’ll enjoy and love the panoramic view of the surrounding landscape. Please bring your favorite liquid fuel, snacks/lunch and personal medications (if any) and health card. Equipped yourself with sun screen, bug repellent and hat for sun protection. Hiking poles and proper footwear is always recommended. Dress appropriately for the hike day weather.

*Cancelled Due To Hazardous Weather Conditions*

This is a summer-time End-to-End hike to complete the Toronto section of the Bruce Trail in 4 hikes.  Join for all or as many hikes as desired. You may use this hike towards your E2E Fundraiser Badge (you must complete at least 3 of the 4 hikes with the group to qualify) or a regular E2E badge.

This first hike will take us from the start of the Toronto Section just south of Hilton Falls Conservation area to the Bruce Trail Pear Tree Park.  The terrain is not too hilly, but the footing is tricky with many uneven, rocky sections to navigate.

July weather can be hot, muggy and buggy! So, dress for the weather, keeping in mind that insects, including ticks, will be out in full force.  Take appropriate precautions to avoid insect bites, including using repellant and clothing that covers the legs and arms.  Hiking shoes/boots are required and hiking poles are recommended.

Bring plenty of fluids, including electrolytes, and a snack/lunch.

As this is a group hike, please consider your fitness level before registering.  We will be walking at a pace of 3km – 4km per hour and everyone is expected to keep up with the person in front of them for the duration of the hike.

Plan to arrive at the meeting place by 9:15 a.m. as we will start the car shuffle to the hike starting point at 9:30 a.m. sharp.  Further details will be provided to registered hikers a few days prior to the hike.
